Nobody else seems to have started one, so I'll kick one off I guess. Mods - apologies if duplicating.
Positives:
- Gov. Self-evident reasons.
- Duggan: I know it's very early days, but that quarter and a half today was a class above everyone else on the field. Short of fitness concerns, I simply don't see a need for him to play in WAFL again.
- The kids more broadly: Sheed continues to do good things. Yeo looks likely. Nelson was down half a point today but still look good (and has some niggle about him). Positive signs there.
- Wellingham has found his rhythm for the first time at the eagles.
- Simpson isn't afraid to move the pieces around. He's not doing it as quickly as we'd always like (see McGinnity, Masten), but Yeo to midfield worked and Hill took the Ginners role and made it work.
- Cripps: the bloke has work ethic, mongrel and skill.
- A good debut from McInnes.
Negatives:
- Overall disposal was terrible. Other teams would belt us around for some of that slop, particularly in Q2.
- I still don't think we're reading the rucks particularly well.
- I wanted a big reply from Masten this week and didn't see it.
- We're at risk of confusing today's win with a good game. It wasn't.
